Sounds like a really good idea to me. Will this require any
modifications to portage, or will it automagically ignore # comments
in that file?

I recently added the 'udev' flag which is automatically turned on by
sys-fs/udev. This is needed by at least one package
(sys-apps/pcmciautils) to determine if the user wishes to install
pcmciautils as an udev helper or as a hotplug helper. This was done
after discussing the subject in #gentoo-kernel.
